Chapter 852: The old lady is not confused
Liu Chao, who has been guarding the southern capital for all these years, is unwilling to stay in the southern capital for some reason.
This is not enough to say that it is summer, the southern capital is like a stove, and Grandpa Liu is too old to stand the heat. But in this cold winter, Grandpa Liu also loves to live in Xiaoling, which is really a little confusing.
However, no one dared to care whether the internal garrison lived in the city or outside the city, and even, the lords and officials in the southern capital hoped that Liu Chaoyong would not be in the city.
Chen Fu knows why Gonggong Liu loves to live in Xiaoling, it is said that more than 20 years ago, there was a fortune teller to Gonggong Liu to approve a hexagram, saying that Gonggong Liu is destined to be rich and noble, if he lives inside, his life will be dull, and there will even be a disaster of blood.
This hexagram is answered.
At that time, Liu Chaoyong was the leader of the inner study hall, and he came out of the court with the first place, and the first time he was a writing eunuch in the celebrant supervisor.
If the inner study hall is the national eunuch in the palace, then the writing eunuch is equivalent to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, as long as Liu Chao is a good student, he can be released as a prisoner in two or three years, and then the young eunuch and palm print will follow step by step.
But who would have thought that Liu Chao had been a writing eunuch for more than 20 years, and he had never moved.
Liu Chao went to find the fortune teller to approve the hexagram after being depressed, the hexagram showed wealth outside, and I didn't know that the real god of fortune telling or Liu Chao used the time to operate, less than a month, the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor fought.
The final result was that Cui An, who was born as a royal horse eunuch and served as a garrison eunuch in the southern capital, was dismissed, while the unknown Liu Chaoyong was sent out of Nanjing and jumped from an eight-rank writing eunuch to a four-rank red robe.
Since then, the garrison father-in-law, who was respectfully called "old lady" by the garrison department in the southern capital, took the word "wealth outside" very seriously, and even evolved into the habit of living outside the city rather than living in the city. This matter is also known to Chen Fu and a few other people, these people are Liu Chaoyong's henchmen, and they will not publicize it to the public.
Liu Chaoyong's duty room was on the east side of the inner garrison hall, some way away from Chen Fu's prison duty room. When Chen Fu arrived outside the garrison house, he listened to the laughter of children and the laughter of Gonggong Liu in the courtyard.
He asked the two little eunuchs on duty what they were doing.
A little eunuch replied: "The old lady is accompanying the little young master to stumble." ”
Liu Chaoyong is a eunuch, and he will not have a grandson, and the one who is called the little master by the little eunuch is the grandson of Liu Chaoyong's younger brother, who is only six years old this year.
Liu Chaoyong is old and likes this nephew very much, so he asked someone to pick up his nephew from his hometown in Yangzhou a few days ago.
In this case, the grandparents and grandchildren are playing a game called "scattering", which is to fold paper into square pieces and then hold them on the ground and smash them against each other. Whoever can smash the opponent's "stumbling" over will win.
This game is not something that ordinary people can play and dare to play, because paper is very precious, and people have paper to remember important things, but they don't dare to waste it, and they don't even want to use it to wipe their buttocks.
That is, families with good economic conditions dare to let their children play this game, but they must also pay attention to it, and they must not let the paper with words fall into the hands of children, otherwise the teachers of the county school will see it and will definitely speak.
Who does Liu Chao use, don't say that he gets some paper for his nephew to play with, even if he gives him gold to play with, he doesn't blink. What master in this world dares to point at the nose of the father-in-law of the Nandu garrison and scold the disrespectful sages.
Chen Fu went in with a smile, but didn't dare to come forward to speak, and only stayed quietly on the side.
Liu Chaoyong saw him, only nodded, and then had a lot of fun with his nephew.
After touching half a pillar of incense for about an hour, Liu Chao took his nephew's hand to the inner room and asked the servants to serve the young master before calling Chen Fu.
"Something?" Liu Chaoyong took the hot hair jin handed by the little eunuch and asked while wiping his face.
Chen Fu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "There is something that the old lady has to take a charter." ”
"What's the matter, tell me."
Liu Chaoyong threw Mao Jin to the little eunuch, and sat down instead, and the little eunuch served hot tea.
Chen Fu said softly: "It's that little guy who is in trouble again." ”
Liu Chao said with an "um" and said, "Didn't he serve as the guard of Jiangnan, how much effort did he make, and what trouble did he cause?" ”
Chen Fu snorted and said, "Old lady, that little guy is messing with the Wei Mansion this time." ”
"Shenni?"
Liu Chaoyong was stunned, "Why did he fight with the Xu family?" ”
Chen Fu immediately told Wei Liangchen about the occupation of the Liyang Iron Field.
After listening to what Chen Fu said, Liu Chaoyong glared at him: "You, how much benefit did you get?" Do you dare to take this matter? ”
Chen Fu hurriedly smiled and said: "Old lady, aren't you just wronging me, how dare I get involved in the affairs of Wei Guogong... Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on that guy? ”
"I said why did Xu Hongzu send someone to invite me back, it turned out to be for this matter." Liu Chaoyong put down the tea bowl and thought thoughtfully.
"What does the old lady mean by this?" Chen Fu asked softly.
"Does the matter of the Jiangnan town guard have anything to do with our internal garrison?"
Liu Chaoyong waved his hand, "We don't know about this matter, and you don't want to get involved, if the two of them want to fight, they will fight." ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Fu's heart was cold, if Gonggong Liu didn't protect Wei Liangchen, Wei Liangchen would not be able to fight the Duke of Wei. You must know that Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, can now hold the military power of the Southern Capital. If the tens of thousands of garrisons near the southern capital move, Wei Liangchen's manpower will not be able to withstand it.
But then I heard Gonggong Liu say again: "By the way, you go and send a message to us in the army, just say that no one should run around with anyone without our warrant." If something happens, our family won't spare them. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll say it right away."
Chen Fu must be sure in his heart that with Gonggong Liu's words, Duke Wei will not be able to transfer troops.
In the system of this dynasty, if the garrison of the southern capital wants to be mobilized, it must be agreed by both the internal and external garrisons, and no one is less, and the internal garrison is even more above the external garrison.
Gonggong Liu didn't allow the following Qiu Ba to mess around, this was to cut off the idea of Wei Guogong to move troops, if he really wanted to fight, he could only dispatch the soldiers in his house, so that Wei Liangchen might not be able to withstand it. That kid has thousands of men on his hands.
But it's also weird while being happy, didn't Gonggong Liu say that he wouldn't mix, why did he arrange it like this?
Liu Chaoyong knew what Chen Fu was thinking, he smiled, shook his head and said: "Hangzhou has sent a message to our family, saying that if the sea route can be opened this year, 500,000 pieces of silk can be sold, and the emperor has always been concerned about this matter." But we don't care about the sea road, the royal family has sent it to that kid, and we can't let that kid have an accident, otherwise, the emperor will definitely complain about us. ”
After finishing speaking, he taught Chen Fu again: "We are eunuchs, we can only have the emperor in our eyes, what the emperor wants, we have to do something, we can't make no distinction between the importance and the severity, otherwise, we don't know how to die." ”
Chen Fu nodded hurriedly and said, "I will remember the words of the old lady for the rest of my life." ”
"You bring us another word to that little guy, fight and fight, but if you want to win the fight, if you lose the fight, the emperor has no face, and our family has no face, but he needs to be ugly."
Liu Chaoyong waved his hand and motioned for Chen Fu to do it.
picked up the tea bowl and took two more sips, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was news from the capital that the kid could serve as the guard of Jiangnan, but the concubine Niangniang supported it.
He Liu Chaoyong has to work carefully, he is old, but his brain is not confused.
